Description

This function is capable of exporting the graphs in a specified folder to PowerPoint slides. Each graph will be pasted into one slide in the PowerPoint file.

It offers an option to allow you to specify whether to export the graphs in the subfolders and whether to skip the hidden graphs that are not shortcuts.

The order of exportation is as follows: The graphs in the top folder will be exported first, then the graphs in subfolder will be exported. If there are more than one subfolder, alphabatical order will be applied to process the subfolders. For graphs in the same folder, the slide indices (index of Slide column in the Project Explorer, which can be change by dragging and dropping graphs in the Project Explorer.) of the graphs will be applied.

Note: To export graphs to PowerPoint slides, Microsoft Office must have been installed. If the version of Office is 2007, Office has to be upgraded to SP2. Or this X-Function will not work fine.
